报告内容摘要：
The build-up of atherosclerotic plaque within the arterial wall of the carotid arteries has been shown to be an important contributor to stroke. Quantitative measurements of the progression/regression of carotid plaque are essential to monitor patients and evaluate new treatment options for carotid atherosclerosis. Many researchers have investigated the use of 3D ultrasound as a cost-effective imaging modality to quantify plaque and vessel wall volumes. However, few studies have analyzed plaque thickness as a localized property. Since carotid atherosclerosis is a focal disease that predominantly occurs at bifurcations, biomarkers based on local plaque change may be more sensitive in assessing the progression and regression of carotid plaques in therapeutic clinical trials, thereby reducing the sample size required to demonstrate statistical significance. This talk describes techniques applied for the analysis and quantification of localized vessel wall and plaque thickness change proposed by our group.
